After entering midsummer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the day of the senior high school entrance examination is getting closer and closer.
After school this day, Jiang Lu packed his things early as usual, and when the bell rang, he whispered, "Qi An'an, I'm leaving first."
Before putting it off, Qi An'an would say "Hey, wait for me" with a dazed face, but now she is used to it - once he returns to the days before liberation, he will not wait for her.
If you say you can't walk together, you won't walk together, especially trustworthy. She had no choice but to say pitifully: "Well... Be careful on the road."
Jiang Lu's hand paused lightly, but he still picked up his schoolbag and turned to leave.
"Hey, Qi An'an, shall we go to eat the newly opened snail noodles at the gate of the school together?" This week, Yu Tianyang moved in front of Qi An'an again, and he proposed excitedly while packing up his things.
Qi Anan shook his head: "I won't go, my brother will go home tonight, I have to have dinner with him."
"Okay, then you escaped the stinky robbery."
Qi Anan couldn't help laughing, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I still want to ask you, what do boys like you like now?"
"what do you like?"
Qi Anan had no choice but to add: "For example... what kind of birthday gift do you want to receive the most?"
"I, I think..." Yu Tianyang just started, "hissed": "Do you want to buy me a gift? But my birthday is still early, why are you planning so early? And birthday gifts are such What things want is surprises, and it’s meaningless to say them.”
Qi Anan had no choice but to explain to him: "I know you're still early, don't worry, your surprise is indispensable. But this time it's not you, it's me... a distant relative who wants to buy... her cub a birthday present, but I don't know how to give it to her." What."
It turned out to be like this, Yu Tianyang thought seriously: "Shoes, I think the shoes are good, you believe me, no man can refuse the temptation of the shoes; The key is the key; the earphones are also okay, it depends on whether he needs it; otherwise, I can change a mobile phone for him, or buy a tablet or something. Let me think about what else... "
After thinking for a long time, Yu Tianyang waved his hand: "Actually, I think it's almost the same. A middle-aged woman can give such a heartfelt gift. Her son absolutely loves it. Go back and tell your relatives, just follow the few words I said above." Let's pick and choose."
Qi Anan, who was put on the hat of a middle-aged woman, had black lines on her face, and nodded with a half-smile: "Okay, I see, go and eat your snail noodles."
She thought a lot, and originally wanted to ask her eldest nephew to see if she could divert her thinking, but none of his suggestions fit the situation.
Qi Anan frowned in distress: What should I buy for her family? It's his birthday in a few days.
…
When Jiang Lu returned home, Qin Meng was not there, and the room he lived in was piled with some clothes that Qin Meng had changed in a hurry. After all, this was Qin Meng's utility room, not his bedroom.
Jiang Lu picked Qin Meng's clothes aside expressionlessly, and just after washing his hands, his cell phone rang.
"Hey, Xiao Jiang, are you still renting my house? You said two days ago that you would think about it again, have you considered it?" There was a mid-spirited female voice on the other end of the phone.
Jiang Lu didn't answer right away. That house was something he had been optimistic about for a long time, not far from Xincheng No. 1 Middle School.
The house is in a high-end community, closed and safe, with excellent privacy. There is no compound like the old community, and most of the neighbors are not familiar with each other. Although there is no fireworks, there are no gossips either.
He had made an appointment with the landlord before, and he would move in when the tenants over there were due to move out.
But a few days ago, he has been wavering.
One night, when he was sending Qi Anan home, when he turned a corner in a remote alley, there was no one in front of him. For some reason, a question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time suddenly asked in a low voice: "Qi Anan, do you want …”
The girl beside him smiled at him ignorantly, and said in her crisp and pleasant voice, "What's the matter? What are you thinking?"
"nothing."
He wanted to know where she would take the exam, and his paranoia became more and more serious. He didn't have to be in Xincheng No. 1 Middle School.
After all, Qi An'an will definitely not be admitted to Xincheng No. 1 Middle School. It is a new urban area that has just been drawn up. The location is remote and far away, and there are few infrastructures. Not even a decent mall or cinema.
But in the end he restrained himself and said nothing.
That day, after the beast had rolled down the stairs, he sat on the side of the deserted street and smoked for a long time.
The first time he smoked, he was already familiar with the road.
In the flickering smoke, he couldn't help sketching another person's face in his mind.
The little girl was afraid that he would be cold, that he would be hungry, that he would be hurt if he was hurt, and that she shielded him from wind, rain, thunder, and gossip. Protected him time and time again.
It was he who overestimated himself. It turned out that he would be like a young man in love. It's just because of his extraordinary precociousness that his period of ignorance is too short.
But where is he worthy
The blood flowing in his body is a filth that can never be washed away, and his birth is a stain. He is just a pawn being used by others to seek wealth and status, and he is doomed to be unable to match the beautiful things in the world.
Jiang Lu looked down at his hands, the smoke was dotted, flickering on his fingertips.
He smiled very lightly, how does he look like a good person
A good man wouldn't be as dirty from skin to bone as he was. Every word like heartbeat is full of sweetness, and it is really tainted by him.
Thinking about it in a flash, Jiang Lu rubbed the center of his brows, let her go and stay away from her while he still has reason.
"I'll rent it," Jiang Lu said in a low voice, "I can move there anytime as long as your place is cleaned up."
His life should have followed the track he had planned, coming alone, passing hastily, and walking silently, that's all.
------
Qi An'an has lost countless brain cells preparing for her birthday gift these two days. It stands to reason that a hardcore book fan like her can analyze this character at her fingertips, but now she is still unable to decide on a suitable gift.
In the book, Jiang Lu is a pitiful little boy in the trough of his life at this time, with low self-esteem and self-loathing. The birthday that other children would look forward to early is an ordinary, even somewhat disgusting day for him.
But Qi An'an remembered that in the book, Jiang Lu heard "Happy Birthday" for the first time when he was 28 years old. It was one of his employees who happened to see it that day and said it casually. At that time, his face was not without emotion.
He had no choice but to come to this world, growing up with difficulty, in fact, he hoped that someone could tell him that he was not so annoying.
Qi Anan's thoughts wandered to the original plot for a while, and for a while she remembered Jiang Lu smiling at her in the sun in the early morning. When he was concentrating on his thoughts, Housekeeper Chen knocked on the door outside: "Miss, I'm coming in."
He came in with a plate of fruit, and saw Qi Anan sitting at the desk frowning slightly, thinking she was studying hard, with a kind smile on her face: "Miss, take a break, she has been up since school, and she hasn't left the house. Some fruit."
Qi Anan took it with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Chen, by the way, is my brother coming back soon?"
"Well, I just said that I'll be home in five minutes." Chen Butler scratched the back of his head, "I just feel that the young master is a little unhappy, as if he is angry, and the lady will coax him later."
"My brother is unhappy?"
Qi An'an's heart sank at first, and then he realized it after thinking about it. Qi Yan is smart and resourceful, and has never suffered a loss in business. Even if there is really something that makes him unhappy, he can still whitewash the peace and pretend that he doesn't care. It shouldn't be because of unsatisfactory work.
If Steward Chen could tell that his tone was bad, it must be something that he couldn't recover from, and he was extremely angry.
What else could it be
"Uncle Chen, don't worry! I'll coax my brother, I'll pick him up at the door!" Qi Anan slapped his forehead, jumped up from his chair and ran downstairs.
Qi Anan waited downstairs for less than a minute before Qi Yan came back.
As soon as he entered, Qi An'an showed a big smile, and took the things in Qi Yan's hand graciously: "Brother, you are finally back, are you hungry at this late hour? Eat quickly, I will wait for you."
Qi Yan's face was gloomy at first, but when he saw Qi An'an, his gaze softened. Hearing what she said, a trace of guilt flashed across his eyes.
"An'an, have you been waiting for me?" Qi Yan hesitated to speak, and sighed meaningfully, "I have wronged you."
When he said that, Qi An'an was more confident in his guess. He sat next to Qi Yan and looked at his face: "Brother, what happened to you? Look at your face so bad. I'm not wronged. Think I'm a poor little boy, okay?"
She is really not wronged, she is about to see the female goose!
Qi Yan sighed lowly, it wasn't their brainy father who wanted to put his illegitimate daughter here to live with An An in a whimsical way. He refused too much, and made the man rebellious. He had to do this, using the company's affairs to put pressure on him, and insisted on letting the two sisters cultivate their relationship together.
Now he can't advance or retreat, but he feels very unwilling to wrong Qi An'an.
Qi Yan didn't want Qi An'an to know about this, and was afraid that she would be sad, so he changed the subject: "The high school entrance examination is coming soon, are you nervous?"
Qi Anan didn't answer his words: "Brother, just tell me if you have anything, I'm not a child. Tell the truth, is it about me?"
"Why aren't you a child?" Qi Yan couldn't help smiling, seeing that he couldn't get around, he said in a deep voice, "An An, the children of my father's relatives will come here in two days, maybe... they will stay here for two days, But it won't be too long, and she will leave when she looks after the house. You don't have to pay attention to her coming, just do your own thing. "
Alas, it really is the elder brother who saved the Milky Way in his previous life, and he was always thinking of her, Qi Anan couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Brother, just tell me the truth, is she going to live forever? It's not a relative's house either." Your child is my father's child."
After all, her wonderful parents didn't want to hide it at all. It's very normal for their magical father to have a child outside with a lover and a puppy.
Before Qi Yan could answer, Qi An'an said again: "You are unhappy because of this, right? Dad scolded you, didn't you? Actually, it's okay, let her live with me. The house is so big, and I also have a companion .I agree with this matter, so don't fight against Dad."
Qi Yan looked at Qi An'an in shock, but the shock soon turned into pain. It was hard for him to imagine that those words just now would come out of his spoiled younger sister.
He has suffered from the hardships of his native family, and originally wanted to raise his little sister innocently, without thinking or understanding anything, just to grow up safely under his wings. But he didn't expect his sister to be so transparent.
It's because of suffering that he is so sensible, and Qi Yan's heartache couldn't be more distressing: "An An, brother will not let you be wronged, you can be as willful as you want, you don't need to be so sensible."
Qi Anan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hugged Qi Yan's arm coquettishly: "Brother, I'm really not wronged, why don't you believe me? You work hard, don't worry about me."
She was really not wronged at all, but she was a little bit afraid that Qi Yan would worry too much and felt aggrieved.
Seeing what Qi Yan had to say, Qi Anan quickly added: "And when did your sister ever get bullied? Don't worry, if she really bullies me, I will never spare her. I will do it myself if I don't need you." kicked her out."
In order to reassure Qi Yan, Qi An'an raised his hands to swear, but the villain in his heart was secretly rubbing his hands, the female goose is kind and simple, she is the number one little angel in the world, this kind of thing will definitely not happen.
Hearing what Qi An'an said, Qi Yan helplessly pinched her little face: "...well, let's try first, and if you have anything, you must tell brother. She should move here after your senior high school entrance examination is over. "
Move in after the high school entrance examination!
At this moment, Qi An'an heard the voice of fireworks in her heart: the high school entrance examination is only a week away, that is to say, after the high school entrance examination, she, a hardcore CP fan, will celebrate the new year!
When going to bed at night, Qi An'an was still churning with excitement, and when she was half asleep and about to fall asleep, she suddenly remembered the business that she had half thought about today but hadn't come to fruition yet.
Hey, don't worry about celebrating the New Year yet, I haven't thought about her family's birthday gift yet!
…
Jiang Lu's birthday is Children's Day, but unfortunately, he has never had a birthday, nor has he celebrated any Children's Day.
But this year's Children's Day is definitely different. In the morning, Qi Anan took the phone, looked at the "June 1st" on it, and thought happily.
